What is new in SQAS 2022 questionnaires? 1. Measuring and managing of GHG emissions 2. Prevention of plastic pellets loss 3. Digitalization Page 2
Global warming: where the problem is coming from Torino coupe produced by Renault Argentina between 1966 and 1981 Argentinian car but designed by Italian Carrozzeria Pininfarina Winner of the 84 Horas of N rburgring in Germany in 1969 Bought in 1986 Engine 200 hp at 4500 rpm Consumption of 12 litres /100 km !! Page 3
How serious global warming is? Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report of 7 August 2021 +1,5 C is possible if zero emissions are achieved by 2050 5 possible scenarios in temperature increase by 2100: + 1.9 C , + 2.6 C, +4.5 C, + 7.0 C, + 8.5 C The IPCC report is unequivocal that past emissions of greenhouse gases have led to the unprecedented rates of climate change (including heatwaves and intense rainfall) that we are seeing around the world today. It further details how we are already locked into centuries of sea-level rise and that each tonne of greenhouse gases we emit will further increase climate-related hazards around the world Piers Forster, IPCC coordinating lead author and member of the Climate Change Committee Page 4
Fight against global warming: this is all about motivation Elon Musk: in 2004 he bought Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturing company Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy published by the European Commission in Dec 2020 Objective: 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in transport by 2050 Page 5
GHG emissions and management in SQAS 2022 questionnaires : a short story 1. Interviews with 5 transport European companies (big and middle size) to know how they measure GHG emissions and to learn about their approach to emission reduction programmes 2. 20 meetings of the SQAS T&A Committee during the 1st semester 2021: 3 hours/meeting x 10 attendees/meeting = 600 hours. Most of the time discussing about GHG emissions, the rest of the time discussing OCS requirements and digitalization Page 6
New GHG emission sections in SQAS 2022 questionnaires: New GHG emissions sections were created in SQAS 2022 Transport Service, Tank Cleaning and Warehouse questionnaires Main objective is to standardize the method used to measure GHG emissions. Second objective: managing of emissions Hierarchy principle in the developing of questions: higher accuracy in the calculation method will end up in higher scores Based on the GLEC framework methodology of measuring emissions issued by Smart Freight Centre (SFC): https://www.smartfreightcentre.org/en/how-to-implement- items/what-is-glec-framework/58/ Current section of SQAS 2019 Transport Service questionnaire has 10 questions related to GHG emission. SQAS 2022 has 28 questions Page 7
New GHG emission section in SQAS 2022 Transport Service questionnaire Emission measurement of own vehicles (Scope 1 and 2) Emission measurement of subcontracted vehicles (Scope 3) FIS (Fully Integrated Subcontractors) and NIS (Non-Integrated Subcontractors) Intermodal Tank Cleaning Subcontracted Warehouse Consolidating and reporting emissions Training Reducing emissions Strategy Objectives (should be aligned with 90% emission reduction objective of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy from EU) Programme Examples of calculations of GHG emissions will be uploaded into the SQAS website Page 8
New GHG emission section in SQAS 2022 Tank Cleaning questionnaire Measuring emissions From boilers, steam generators and incinerators/flares (scope 1) From electricity to move high pressure pumps and lighting (scope 2) To heat loaded containers (scope 1 or 2) Reducing emissions Strategy Objectives (should be aligned with 90% emission reduction objective of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy from EU) Programme Page 9
New GHG emission section in SQAS 2022 Warehouse questionnaire Basis: Guide for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting for Logistic Sites issued by the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (Jan 2019) Measuring emissions From forklifts running with fuel /gas (scope 1) From electric forklifts, temperature-controlled chambers (refrigerated and heated), lighting, conveyors, wrapping machines and packing/repacking devices (scope 2) Reducing emissions Strategy Objectives (should be aligned with 90% emission reduction objective of the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy from EU) Programme Page 10
New questions related to prevention of pellets loss 1. Aligned with OCS (Operation Clean Sweep) from Plastics Europe and European Plastic Converters associations 2. Number of questions by type of assessment (including SQAS 2022 Core questionnaire): Warehouse : 53 Transport Service : 28 Tank Cleaning: 26 3. Most questions cover prevention but also emergency response Page 11
New section about digitalization in SQAS 2022 SQAS 2022 Core questionnaire: new questions about security, contingency plan, digitalization plan PAD 2022: New section about digitalization. The section includes questions about: Availability of digital data (estimated time of arrival, temperature of the load, technical information of equipment, etc.) Exchange of data in real time Issuing of eCMR, eSDS Sharing of eCD (electronic cleaning document)/eCO (electronic cleaning order)/ePPL (Proof Previous Load ) Page 12
New submodule about storing of Tank Containers/Containers To be developed on 2nd semester 2021 It will be incorporated into the Warehouse, Transport Service, Tank Cleaning and Transfer Terminal questionnaires. The PAD will trigger the submodule, if applicable It will cover safety and environmental aspects (GHG emission subsection) Page 13
SQAS 2022 launching plan SQAS 2022 questionnaires in English are available on www.sqas.org German, French, Spanish and Italian versions of SQAS 2022 will be available very soon Re-accreditation of SQAS assessors: September 2021: 3-hour e-learning module in GHG emissions by SFC October 2021: webinar about module 5 of SFC/Cefic Re-training and examination in Dec 2021 Start of SQAS 2022 assessments on 3rd Jan 2022 Submodule of Tank Containers/Containers to be communicated on 1 Q 2022. Start of assessments with this submodule to be defined Page 14
